You're right, jax. I wasn't thinking. I've changed the post. Do you think it's OK now?
Although I suspect David is deceased, otherwise he could answer some of these questions.

I wonder if he married Margaret E. Costigan who was previously married and her maiden name was Barrett. Off to look.

Marshall Horace C Costigan Ilford 4a 975

Is it wise to post Davids birth could he not still be living? unless we know otherwise

jax

There's a birth of a David 1946 in Ilford. Mother;s maiden name is Barrett not Barnett'

I Know I cant its tricky something is wrong .

But I can't see a marriage of Horace Marshall and Margaret.
And that's not David's birth that I found in 1941, Uxbridge?

Just contacted my son.in.law his father David was born in 1946 in Basildon. His grandparents were Margaret and Horace Claude Marshall .

Hi Madbull and london bell
Just found a marriage of Elizabeth Buck to Frederick Marshall 1909 so its possible that these are the parents. Found Elizabeth on freeband birth 1889 in Uxbridge . Ill get back to my son in law with the name of Frances Barnett he could have given me the wrong name . Cheers Angie

David's birth?

Births Dec 1941 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marshall David W Barnett Uxbridge 3a 283

There's also this Marshall with mother's maiden name Buck but it's in Preston:

Births Dec 1919 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marshall Robert Buck Preston 8e 999

As MadBull says you need to make sure that you are researching the right family. Your best bet is to get a copy of Horace & Margarets marriage cert that will confirm Horace's father's name and occupation. If you are sure that you have the right birth a copy of his birth cert will give you mother's and father's name.

Buck maybe her maiden name, but she may have been married before so she would not have married as Buck

jax

Is son-in-law sure that Horace's wife was Margaret? There's this marriage:

Marriages Mar 1935 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Barnett Frances Marshall Blean 2a 1885
Marshall Horace C Barnett Blean 2a 1885

Hi Mad bull and Londonbelle
Your names make me giggle but you do a good job!! Im resaerching for my son in law who only knows his grandparents names (Horace and Margaret. I found the name Buck on the freeband site so now Ive got her first name is it not possible to trace back on the census?
Thanks Angie

Do you know whether Horace had any other older brothers and sisters? If so, what were their names and when were they born?

I wouldn't jump to conclusions, Angela. I only posted that as a possible. I think, as Lindsey says, you need to buy Horace's birth certificate to get his father's name. Nothing worse than following the wrong family.

That was quick how did you find it ? Thanks now I can trace his tree.
Thanks Lindsey

I cant see a marriage, so you may need his birth cert
